Believing in the importance of plant quarantine as an immune shield protects the agricultural resources of the country against the risk of disease and pests and limits the entry of some agricultural products, which may include material toxic to humans, animals, the soil and the environment, such as fertilisers, agricultural soil amendments and pesticides. Plant Quarantine Law No (24) of 2005 was therefore issued alongside the Implementing Regulation issued by Ministerial Resolution No (61) of 2007 on the regulation of plant quarantine and subsequent laws. For the benefit of clients importing and exporting agricultural consignments, the Plant Protection and Plant Quarantine Division of the Agricultural Affairs Department has prepared this Guidebook to promote recognition of the most important requirements and measures to be observed prior to importing or exporting any agricultural consignment. This will help to prevent rules from being infringed, which might cause an imported consignment to be rejected or an plant health certificate for an exported consignment not to be issued. This can cause financial losses and restrict international trade.
